Old Faces Made New

Sideus now stood beside her, placing his right hand beside her thigh, and leaning on his side slightly. You don t want anything from me? Nothing? At all? He asked these questions in succession, taking the cigarette from his lips to speak better.

Sideus is having trouble seeing straight. >

Kestrel_Olufemi The waitress brings the drink back, she still seems a little upset by Kestrel's rudeness earlier. She sets the drink down hard and some of it spills over the edges. Well, I've already gotten her this mad, "Hey, do I have to pay for the drink on my tables too." Waitress ignores her. "Hell, I'd kick her..."

Mavei 's hand snaps out, deadly quick, to take the vampire by his throat. Her teeth grind together in effort, in restraint. "Ssssideus... What I want.. Ye cannae give me..." Behind her glasses, her eyes flashed golden, faceted, catching the light and reflecting it.

Tesseract closes her eyes a moment, taking a deep breath. Her covered orbs then open back to the doorway, keeping their gaze locked. She didn't want anything sneaking up on her this time. The chains on her back clink soflty with her movements, and her fists remain clenched. A spark or two would flicker behind the goggles, simply because she was so momentarily stressed.

DooleyDeedle spots Kestrel sitting by herself. He likes her hair. He likes the way she pushes around the waitress. He likes the waitress' hair, too. Dooley stands and leads Macke over to her table. "Excuse me, miss!" he says conversationally. "May myself and my canine familiar take a seat at your sturdy if not greatly occupied table?"

Sideus froze up. He allowed himself to get cozy. Now, look at the predicament he was in! He didn t pull away though. Last time, his throat got ripped out. He stayed completely still, looking into her glasses from behind his own. Remove your hand from my throat. Now. His voice was obviously forced, and slightly stressed.

Kestrel_Olufemi This guy seemed okay. "Only if you buy the next round."

DooleyDeedle laughs. "That's good!"

Flash_Guardian emerges from the rear of the pub, glancing hither and thither before moving around the bar to take his usual seat. As he looks, he is mindful of a commotion nearby, giving the pair plenty of breathing room. His seat at the bar is quickly taken, and as he seat himself, his chin quickly finds home in his fists, elbows propped up on the table as he stares straight ahead into the mirror. Pulling his shades up slowly, he gazes at his Armani suited reflection staring back at him, a saddened look on his face.

walked in looking around, she walked over to the bar and sat down on a stool quietly...

Kestrel_Olufemi "Next round is," she thinks for a moment,"Shooters, you know why?"

Mavei grips just a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit tighter. "And if I don't?" She asks, voice deceptively soft. A small click, and cold steel nudged under his coat, towards his ribs. "What? Tell me Ssssssid. Tell me. What are you going to do? Stalk me until I cannae breathe? Until I cannae even leave me own home without fear? Perhaps ye'll shoot me? In the leg aye? So I cannae run? Hmmm? Or perhaps ye'll do it from a distance? Oh I know.. Ye'll sneak up behind me and drag me out a door right? Do tell me. What will you do, that you havnae already done."

[Sideus ] The vampire rose his arms slowly, new leather creaking only slightly. A classic I Surrender pose. He quivered slightly, taking in light, and easy breaths. I ll give up.

Kestrel_Olufemi tilts her head a little, "Well then two shooters for me!" She hollars the waitress glares and prepares the drinks.

Blank strolls into the pub in his usual morbid state. His hands are stuffed into his hands into his pockets and his head bowed. The rogue casually makes his way up to the bar and plops down into one of the stools and taps the countertop with his knuckles. "Coffee please." He muttered to the tender.

Mavei snorts, and lets go, holstering and uncocking her gun, in that order. "Ye've said that before."

Flash_Guardian glances over to Lilly just once as she seats herself at the bar nearby, followed by another glance to the forceful woman and trembling man. Just glances ... no emotion to his face save the gloom he already seems to keep. Finding nothing just yet to lighten his mood, his gaze returns to the mirror across the bar. Without looking up, he mutters something in a monotone voice that rival's Blank's own at the best of times. "Hey, Blank."

Audrey stepped into the dimly lit pub with a smirk tilting the left corner of her mouth upward just slightly. Her blue eyes were directed toward her cousin Jane, who had apparently entered the room just before her. "Jane! How are you this fine and lovely night?" She called out in a rather upbeat tone of voice. Walking toward Jane, she raised her arm in greeting and made her way toward the bar. "Red wine, please." She spoke as she slid two silver coins in the barkeep's direction.

[Sideus ] Name the situation. I don t remember ever speaking such words of surrender. And where did his hand land, when he saw the gun out away? His pistol, of course.

Kestrel_Olufemi receives drinks. She slams one on the tables watches it fizz and downs it and repeats with the other. "What can I say, I like the sauce." She laughs to herself, this was going to be a long night.

Blank is served his coffee, picks it up by the ring and sips at it. He hears a greeting from off to the side and he gives Flash the thumbs up in responce to his greeting. Perhaps just a greeting in return. Once he set down his cup he turned to Flash and offered a feeble grin. "Yo... What's up?"

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she crawls , well more like walking on all fours, into the pub. her nose to the ground and twitching eagerly as she sniffed out a familiar scent. " i know your here" she said in a quiet, sly voice. finnaly her nose was at Flash's toes.. she stopped, and sat down much liek a tiger would, or anyother animal for that matter" hey flash" she said happily, her ears perked fowardand erect in his direction.

JaneBelleville almost floated into the pub, in otherwords, she felt lighter thn a feather it seemed.. her steps were graceful and her pace steady. A smile was playing along her lips, her eyes directed towards the bar before looking to Audrey as she was greeted. She smiled again. "Hello, Audrey! I'm doing wonderful.. how about yourself?" She made her way to the bar as well, "I'll have a hot chocolate, actually... thanks."

Flash_Guardian doesn't seem to answer Blank for some time, choosing for some reason or another to keep his thoughts to himself. He hears a sniffing down below, at least turning his head to gaze down upon Kodora, cheerful smile standing in stark contrast to the other pair of males seated at the bar next to each other. A half-grin is all Flash manages for a greeting to Kodora before he looks not at the mirror, but down at the naked bar-top in front of him, specifically at the mess left by a previous customer, spilt alcohol poorly cleaned up by a still present and thoroughly saturated napkin. A bit more thought, and finally a deep sigh and words follow. "Lots of stuff."

[Mavei ] "After the first or second time ye came at me. Ye said it wouldn't happen again." She didn't seem to care that his hands were at his gun. It didn't matter. Leaning against the wall, Mav merely inhaled slowly on the smoke.

Audrey shook her head good-naturedly at Jane's 'floating' and flashed a warm smile. "You must have really enjoyed your time with..who was it? Ah, with that Priest fellow!" She paused as she watched the barkeep set her wine in front of her and nodded her head to express her gratitude.

[Blank ] "Hmm... Well, keep it cool. Don't take anything around here too seriously." He nods once more to the man and looks back to his coffee before sipping from it once more.

[Sideus ] I say a lot He turned, letting his cigarette fall to the floor. I ll take my leave, seeing as you no longer wish to speak with me. His boots clambered against the floorboards, until they hit dirt. I am truly sorry we can no longer seem to speak to each other like we used to. But, I am not so apologetic for the actions I performed against you. He lit himself a new cigarette, as he started down the pavement. Later days, Beautiful.

Kestrel_Olufemi tires of sitting alone at the table. Gets up to seat herself at the bar. On her way she winks at a girl with her hand at a mans throat. Woman need to be more assertive like that. She takes a seat at the bar and glances down to see who lines it.

JaneBelleville tossed one silver coin at the man behind th counter after her mug of hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream, was set before her. She smiled, her hand taking hold of it to feel it's warmth. She smiled at Audrey.. "I did, thankyou.." She meant to tell her best friend more, but not in the middle of the crowded bar.

[Mavei ] "You do realize" She called out after him "That we cannot speak as once did because of actions ye've taken against me. Ye understand that, right?" Slipping from the barrel, she walks a few steps after him.

[Mavei ] *we once

Blank is sitting at the bar, enjoying a nice cup of coffee. Life is good in a bad sort of way. Perhaps it was the other way around. Though he seems to have a grim aura about him. Squee!

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she hopped onto the coutner top, landing in the same position she was sitting in down on the floor " flash.. whast happend?" she askedsoftly. usually he wasso happy to se e her, but now, well it was just depressing to see him like this." you know i could sulk too" she said softly.

Audrey quirked an eyebrow before speaking once more. "Oh? Sounds to me like there's more to be said...Well, I'm glad you've started taking interest in other men again. Not some dreadful corpse of a..a..whatever he is." She smiled, taking a sip of her wine.

Flash_Guardian isn't sure what to make of Blank's advice. He leans forward, burying himself further in the dark and rich fabric of the arms of his Armani suit, taking off his neon yellow shades and folding them neatly, setting them on the bartop. "Depends where here is," is all that Flash responds with, glancing around at the others nearby. They all seemed so cheerful. And in truth, Flash should be cheerful as well. After all, there was still a friend's wedding and a grand opening party in his near future, both very happy occasions. And yet, he is sad. Eyes dart up towards Kodora from her perch on the bar beside him. "Nothing ... happened, really. Just ..." Flash can't seem to finish that thought, so he doesn't, choosing to melt back into the safety of his folded arms.

Blank shrugs. Feh?

[Sideus ] Unfortunately. Life goes on, mistakes are made. Shit happens. It was nice while it lasted, until things got fucked. He started his march again, blowing a bit of smoke above his head. The cancer stick was placed between his lips, as the vampire through his scarf around his neck. He pulled his coat over what remained of the scarf, dangling and such. Pale hands were shoved into pockets, holding everything close for some protection against the elements.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she brought her face up close to his, touching her nose with his " somethigns happend. i want to know" she said rather oimpatiently " i told you what was wrong with me! now you tell me whats wrong with you!" she demanded.

Kestrel_Olufemi glances at the guy next to him. "Pardon me, I don't me to, get into your bussiness." Kestrel refers to Blank, "Please tell me you're just getting over a hangover and that's why you're coffee is so," She scrunches her nose a little, it's obvious she's a little over her limit. "Plain? I'll buy you a shot of whiskey for it, but that's only because no one likes to drink alone. It is quite apparent that right know I am."

JaneBelleville chuckled, moving towards the couch infront of the fireplace instead of a booth this time, hoping Audrey would follow. "Well.. I figured I might as well not waste any more of my time on Tiento.. besides, It would never work between us."

Flash_Guardian 's amethyst pendant begins to glow with a subtle purplish light, out from beneath where his head lays. What Flash doesn't say, the pendant should reveal ... at least to those who know him. At Kodora's staring, Flash closes his eyes and turns his head away, the corners of his eyes beginning to wrinkle. "Bida ..."

Mavei drew her gun, pointed at his turning back, knocking the hammer back. As much as she wanted to though, she didn't pull the trigger. "Bastard." She mutters, tucking the piece away behind her back. "Mistakes are made. Hmmph. How many? How many will it take... " Whether she was talking about him, or her acceptance of his word, after it had been broken many times, it was unclear. The door to the Pub was thrown open, and she stamped off the snow before heading right for the stairs leading up to the rooms on the top floor.

Audrey followed Jane to the couch while making some sort of face expressing disgust. "Jane...I really don't understand why you wanted things to work out between you two anyhow. Well, I understand the need for a connection for Claire's sake, but anything beyond that is just..." She thought of the man's scar riddled body and festering wounds, "Ugh! No, Jane..You deserve much better! I know looks aren't everything, but that's just not sanitary!" She sat down next to her friend and made herself comfortable, holding her wine glass delicately.

Blank shoots Kestrel a look that was somewhere between confused and defensive. "I'm drinking this coffee for the same reason most other people drink coffee." He brings the cup upto his lips to sip the hot liquid down a little more then brought it down. "For the caffine. I need it to stay awake. I'm sure I have half a dozen sleeping disorders by now so... coffee is my only medium for staying awake. Last time I checked... coffee wasn't consumed with alcohal." He explained to Kestrel in an apathetic tone and manner.

Kestrel_Olufemi "It is where I come from, because after the sleeping disorders from staying up, waiting for that person to come take your life, afraid to sleep. After the disorders get that bad, then, you just give up caring and turn to this. After awhile, it just isn't worth caring about." She wished that he had taken her comment a little lighter. She shoved out of the stool and went back to her table, reminding herself why she ussually stayed there.

JaneBelleville laughed some, nodding after she sat. She crossed her legs before resting her mug of hot cocoa on one knee, her hands still wrapped around it. "I know what you mean.. and Preist is so much better, he's wonderful... the first chance I get, I want to introduce him to you."

Blank shrugged and finished his coffee. "Coffee or bust." He muttered as he pushed away the empty cup and stood.

Audrey smiled as she took another sip of wine. "Yes, I would very much like to meet this man. So what are your plans for tonight? Anything special?"

JaneBelleville shrugged.. "I don't know the plans.." She smiled before taking a cautious sip from the mug.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she looked to the purple light glowing from his pendant that hung from his neck. " tel lme" she hyuphed, begining to whimper, starting to feel his sadness wearing onto her "god damn. just tell me!" she demanded, trying to look more angry and tough then saddend. her eyebrows were a mix of anger and sorrow. her claws dug into the counter top, leaving puctures or small dents in the wood. her ears lay low on the back of her head, her top k9 teeth showing out over her bottom lip.

Audrey cocked her head slightly to one side. "You don't know the plans? Well, Jane..You ought to be ashamed of yourself." She laughed lightly as a hint of mischief lit her eyes. "Jane, do you remember all the times you've fired that blasted shot gun of yours at me? You've seemed to change so much. I'm proud of you."

Flash_Guardian simply ... sighs. He catches sight of the glow coming from underneath where his head rests, shifting slightly to cover and extinguish the glow. Flash's eyes seem more distant now than anything else ... any who look close may see some hint of emotion there which would serve as a clue. In fact, anyone who has ever been in love before would immediately be able to tell. Flash is tried and true lovesick. "I miss Bida."

Blank skitters out of the room. "Peace out, all."

JaneBelleville laughed, "I know.. I'm sorry I did that to you!" She laughed again, memories running through her head.. she missed those times though..She took in a deep breath.. "I miss that way of living though.. it was so exciting.." She smiled.."But this fits too..." She brought the mug to her lips, taking another sip and savoring the chocolaty flavor before swallowing.

JaneBelleville laughed, "I know.. I'm sorry I did that to you!" She laughed again, memories running through her head.. she missed those times though..She took in a deep breath.. "I miss that way of living though.. it was so exciting.." She smiled.."But this fits too..." She brought the mug to her lips, taking another sip and savoring the chocolaty flavor before swallowing.

Kestrel_Olufemi Calls the waitress, maybe it is time to cool it down for the night. "Just a tea with some honey." She receives it and sips it slowly. Then rests her head on the table, for the first time this night a look of sadness came across her face. She hated being sobber enough to think. Kestrel knew if she didn't have another drink within the next hour, she would be thinking half clear.

Aiomitsu would enter the pub, stopping at the door and standing there, his deep red eyes inspecting what he could. It had already been a long and dull night, and he doubted that it would get interesting around this time, but he was always willing to check, perhaps cause some mischief himself if he wanted too. He cracked his knuckles and shook his head, turning around and leaving, too many memories here to cope with, he wished to not be saddened from his recent run with his half-kin wolves. He always loved playing in the wilderness with those who knew him best, yet he doubted that anyone amongst this reality would be able to run alongside him, not just for his deftness and agility, but for his lack of compasion for living things anymore. He just wished to be left alone, at least until the time he was to make a stand against all that society preached as being good, no, love was not a good thing anymore, it had ruined him. No, he was to do nothing tonight, he merely walked out.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sighed softly " like i miss jesty?" her voice more softer and quieter. she fell silent soon after that, looking away from hiim, not wanting to remember jester, it hurt too much. " thanks" she huphed rather coldly she crawled off the counter, making her way into Flash's lap, seeming to wriggle around his current position till she was as comfertable as could be.

Flash_Guardian raises a hand to wave as Blank departs, though not much more. Flash could likely be called 'dashing' or even 'handsome' at this moment in his formal attire, were it not for that look of silent gloom all over his face. At Kodora's comfort-seeking wiggling, he simply scoots back a bit and allows her a bit more space to find a place to get cozy. A slight chuckle, and an ironic twinge of a smile breaks that frown of his. "Well," he comments, using a bit lighter tone, "maybe not quite like you and Jester ... but yeah. Something like that." From Flash's lap, Kodora would get a nearly perfect view of the amethyst pendant hanging around Flash's neck as it dangles beneath his hunched over front.

Shattered_Soul Quietly makes her way towards the counter and hops over. A hand pressed firmly to her cheek as blood oozes through her fingers and down her neck. She quickly runs into the back to the sink and washes her hands which are trembling terribly. She grabs a damp cloth and slowly dabs at the gash upon her cheek.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nodded softly " so... what..... happen...... bi...da" her words were slowly, and lengthy. she didn't seem to be all there. her ears were layed dack on ehr head, a sneeky grin would play apon her lips, and up one hand would go, batting at the pretty, shiny, purple, shiny.. did i mention shiny? well at the jewel.

[Flash_Guardian ] "I don't know," is all that Flash replies, stirring from his seat, rising and scooping Kodora up in one slow, smooth motion. Standing, Flash deposits the hanyou girl upon the bartop once more, giving her as much of a chastising look at Kodora as he can muster in his current emotional state ... but is he actually trying to be sincere? "Don't play with that." Hard to tell. Before Kodora can figure such out, Flash is already swiftly making his way around the bar, following the woman who had come in so quickly only moments before. Apparently he knows her, and also noticed the large wound on her face and neck.

Zaqs stomps through the door of the pub, grumbling as he pulls out a flint and tinder from his side satchel, stopping right infront of the door and stricking it above the pipe clenched in his teeth, side satchel swingin with his motion. He puffs a few smoke clouds before stowing the flint away and meandering over the bar, pulling out a sheet of parchment as he does so, "Barkeep! Ale if ye would!"

Kestrel_Olufemi for the seventh time this night enters and takes a seat at the same empty tables.

N\'e1tulcienAr-Feiniel slipped slowly through the doors as she came to pause there at the entrance way for only a brief moment. Taking a quick gaze around the room as made her way over towards the bar. Taking a seat upon and empty barstool as she called her order out to the bartender. Placing a few silver pieces upon the counter and simply waits from there and just watches the room.

PhorenNarqu was sitting over in a corner, hood pulled over his face still, cloth covering it. Nursing a drink in his bandaged hands, a finger clearly missing, the bandages stained red with a little blood. Wearing simple black pants, but no shirt, as everytime he wore one his scars started to burn

Shattered_Soul A bottle of Ale comes whipping out from the backroom, hoping it hits something or someone. She continues to dab her cheek and lets out a whimper of curses, her light red eyes are now a dull pale pink.

Kestrel_Olufemi This time she does not put her boots on the table to purpously offend the waitress. Leaning forward to let her hair cover her face once more she sits still and does not order anything to drink. Tonight her memories haunt her.

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] "HEY WAIT!" she shouted out, and jusst as she was about to get up from the bar top, a hard, heavy glass bottle hit her head. OWWW!!" she screamed out , and a second later fell on teh floor, rahter well not in touch with reality. making stranger mumbling noises, drool making it's way dow nthe conor of her mouth.

ClaudiusBlue took his time walking across the cobblestone roadways, having no need to be in any hurry. He enjoyed the crisp, cool air, a comforting memory of home always within the cold. Finally he approached the tavern, not bothering to peer in through one of the windows before stepping to the door. "Ah... Here we are." Pushing his shining silver gauntlet against the squeeky wooden portal, the noble slowly pushed himself inside, a grin adorning his contrasting features. It was quiet, nothing seemed to be drawing much attention, the dwarf who ordered the ale withstanding. "Hmph..." he snorted, running the tip of his black velveteen finger along the edge of the plume in his outlandish cap. Then his mismatched pair would finally come across Flash and Kodora sitting together, Phoren in the corner. Flicking the end of his feather, he stepped further inside, scratching his metal talons along the door as he entered.

Flash_Guardian turns into the doorway leading into the back room, quickly stumbling back and bringing his hands to his chest to catch something being hurled at him, looking much like a football quarterback catching a football. A single glance is given to the object ... a bottle of cheap ale. And now, another glance to the woman - a friendly one, if marked by some sort of sadness as well as concern. "I can think of a better use for this," Flash says, waving the bottle at the bleeding woman once.

Kestrel_Olufemi Just almost completely gone in her own world. Yelling, shattering all followed by a thump makes her jumo from her seat. Her heart beats wildly in her chest and she is breathing heavy. Her eyelids still droop and she quickly returns to her seat heart still beating. This time she remains sitting up looking out over the room.

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] [Hey flash. I GOT HIT WITH IT BEOFRYE OU MADE YORU POST. THUS YOU DIDN'T CATCH IT]

Flash_Guardian neverminds the catch, having instead grabbed another bottle of cheap ale from the shelves for himself.

Shattered_Soul Glances to Flash and prsses the bloody rag to her cheek as her other hand holds another rag to her neck." Hi mystery man." She mumbled softly as she looks into the mirror, noticing her cheeks are beginning to pale and hisses.

Zaqs drops his backback and side satchel on the floor next to his stool as he lifts the mug to his lips, glancing down at Kodora as he hits the floor, "No No Lass! Yer supposta drink what's inside not hit yer head with it!"

Kestrel_Olufemi laughs a little at Zaqs joke. It made her feel a little better.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora left foto would twitch, "bluu muu nuuhmnn uuuhhh huiuuu muuuu" he said, well not really said, just made a noise. a big red mark where she was hit on the forhead with the botttle remain.

Flash_Guardian spares a backward glance of concern for Kodora, biting his lower lip ... he would make sure to attend to her next, as the other woman's injuries would appear more grave at this moment. Flash quickly pops the bottle open. Finding a spare rag nearby, he places it over the open mouth of the bottle and tips it upside-down several times, soaking it with ale decently. That done, he sets the bottle aside and moves a bit closer to inspect the wounds. "I won't use the rag unless I need to ... let me see."

Zaqs tips a bit of the ale out of his mug onto Kodora, "Ye better wake up lass, ye don't wanta sleep in a tavern, they charge a lot and ye tend not have yer purse when ye wake up." he downs the rest of the mug and blows another smoke cloud through the pipe, "Barkeep, gimmie something that's a little stronger if ye'd be so kind."

Flash_Guardian only casually notices the other man as he approaches, looking only halfway familiar, and not enough to warrant his full attention just yet.

N\'e1tulcienAr-Feiniel just nodded her thank you to the bartender as she slipped out of the stool. Picking up her glass as she made her way over towards the back of the room as she took a seat in an empty booth. Bringing the glass to her lips as she took a long sip of her drink and closed her eyes briefly.

Shattered_Soul Shakes her head." It wont stop bleeding.. If I remove the rags it wont even slow!" Her voice going near to hysterics as she glances around, biting down harshly upon her lush, pouty, bottom lip.

Kestrel_Olufemi laughes a little louder this time, she tries to stop herself. She'd rather remain grumpy, but can't help to give in a little.

Flash_Guardian frowns impatiently. "I can mend your wounds, but I will need to see them first. Try not to worry, you're in no mortal danger," he says, trying to sound comforting. Again, he tries to take a peek at the wounds, even if it is a quick one.

Flash_Guardian also would place his free hand upon the woman's shoulder reassuringly, if allowed.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she woke up, shakling her head much like a dog. she stood up, well tried too, was rather dizzy, not to menchon had a blinding headache, was now wet and smelled of booze. "WHAT THEHELL1" she yelled out. she glared at Zaqyes. "Watch it!" she hissed angrilly. "Nextime you do that to me i'll sl;ice your neck, ripp your balls off and shove em down your throat!" oi vei, such strong language for such a small child, not to menchon a girl. what a sailors mouth. and well flash would reconize her voice instantly, the fiery tigress was back HJAHA!

ClaudiusBlue sauntered over to one of the empty bar stool and lowered seated himself, placing his blue chapeau upon the stool beside. As the man were about to order himself a drink, he glanced behind him to Kodora. "Dear Kodora... Little Kodora," he started, a smirk on his face. "Such funny things you say, but what do they mean? It is much more suiting for us both should you choose to use proper words." The noble raised his black glove and ordered from the barkeep, his request given with only a slight nod. "But never the less, it is a comfort to hear your voice after such a long separation... You were missed."

Shattered_Soul Lets out another long line of curses as she pulls the rags from her cheek and neck. A long, deep thick gash is sliced from her cheekbone to her chin. A nice size gash upon her neck even though they are hard to see with the blood that spills from them. She closes her eyes as she dabs it again." I'm going to kill him.." Her now dull pink eyes flash black as she hisses.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she calms down a bit hearing someoen talk to her. " who the hell?" she didn't reconize this person. "Do i know you?" she asked wit ha rather invasive tone, well east indian femals had sort of that shrill accent voice, which she definatly had being east indian, well atleast on her fathers side.if this person was Benji Blue, or Jester, well then she didn't reconize either of them.

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] [ god damn i hate my typoes. christ, god damn my cold hands. oh warmpth of summer, how i miss you]

Tesseract walks in, a defiant look on her tear-stained face. Talons click against the wooden floor, as she moves over against the side wall. Dropping down, the girl sits on the floor, arms wrapped around her knees. Her armor would mostly hide her against the wall, but she didn't care. Peering about the commotion through bright green bangs, the girl creature sniffs. Ugh. And now, another place to just wait.

Zaqs gives a shrug and takes a long swig of his ale, "Bah ye daft lycanthrope as I said before ye don't wanta sleep in a tavern, much less the floor of one." He blows out a smoke ring from his pipe glancing over at Kestrel briefly before turning his attention back to his mug.

Kestrel_Olufemi gets up and sits next to Zaqs. "I enjoy a good conversation and I have a good feeling about you. Next drink on me?"

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " Lycanthro what now?" she quickly turned her head towards the man who spoke " WATCH YOUR MOUTH. I'M A HALF DEMON YOU INFIDEL!" she hissed and looked back to Claudius, " is that better? now who the hell are you?" she asked again

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] [ well i dunno about the US. but in can i think we can vote on weater ;)]

ClaudiusBlue pivoted in his seat and placed both gloves on his hips, an arched golden eyebrow given to her. "Who the hell is this do you mean?" Blue didn't look much different from how he usually looked, only the lighting effect had really changed much. "Oh come now..." he said leaning back, propping both arms against the wall. "You do not remember me, Kodora, my precious little cherub?" Blue thanked the barkeep for bringing him his drink and looked back to her with a smile. "Fire rekindled... Spirit aflare. Feeling better I think?"

Flash_Guardian winces and hisses through his teeth ... nasty wounds, indeed. Back behind him, he hears raucous shouting and death threats, grinning slightly. Kodora must have regained consciousness. To the woman, he takes one last look before nodding to her. "Right now, killing should be the last thing on your mind," he informs her, nudging her with his free hand towards a nearby keg. "Make yourself comfortable. I'll have you patched up in no time." Even as he speaks this, he closes his eyes and inhales deeply, the hand at his side slowly brightening with a whitish glow as Flash summons what chi energy is necessary for the task at hand.

Zaqs blows another smoke ring, turning his attnetion now toward Kestrel, "Ale's fer drinkin' lass not fer wearin', but if ye be meanin' yer payin' then I must accept. No Dwarf in 's right mind (or his left) would turn down free ale." Once again he finishes his mug in a single gulp, and without so much as turning around, "Which half?"

Shattered_Soul Sighs weakly and takes a quick seat, the rags covering her cheek and yet blood continues to slide down her neck. Her anger is momentarily subsided with a sudden urge to sleep as a small yawn escapes her lips. Her face is pale as she glances around the backroom, wanting to throw more things.

Kestrel_Olufemi "You better watch yourself, she seems pretty upset." She flags down the bartender and gets to good ales. She takes a swig and makes a funny face at the ale. It's not really her thing, ale that is, but it's worth a good conversation.

Tesseract sighs. Why again? No Nexus, no noone. No, she wouldn't sit and wait. Not for anyone. Suddenly on her feet, and wristblade out, the girl creature growls, then slashes at the nearest table. Energy sparks along the edges of the two pieces of wood, as they fall to the ground. The girl frowns, then sits back down, feeling slightly better.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she shook her head. was this person really that stupid. she gave hi mthe finger" Are you restarded" she was baffled buy this guys ignorance. "Wha tan ASSHOLE you are!" she picked up a random mug and tossed it at his head. oh she was outright pissed now. one thing, never get a girl pissed, much less a half demon.

PhorenNarqu remains there, taking the occasional drink. Feeling more betrayal than ever. From the actions of Devaine and the girl, and the seeming indifference of Benjamin... Wait, Aislinn had called him Claudius. Which sent even more betrayal into him. That she loved two, as was obvious by the behaviour of the combined being. But that she could not bring herself to love a third. A thrid who would give everything for her, and had already started down that path.

Revelation entered, in all her beauty and grace, she entered. Not wearing her uniform. More so feeling in the jolly good mood, she wore a little santa outfit. Along with short red velvet miniskirt, and small low cut red shirt. Bells hung on her neck as she walked in, jingling. Even the thigh high black boots had little bells tied to them. Green leaves accenting the bells on her boots and a little pin of misletoe on her shirt. She grinned, pulling off the fuzzy santa hat, blond hair falling way past her lower back. Even her rear. About the length of mid calf, softly curled at the ends. Yes in all her christmas like spirit, she had a nice long candy cane in her mouth. Enjoying the pepperminty satisfaction that came from it. Sauntering up to the bar in all her jing-jingleness she spoke delicately to the tender. "Coffee with a shot of some minty liquor. I don't care what, anything would do.

Flash_Guardian holds that breath, keeping his eyes closed ... his right hand holds the alcohol soaked rag, his left seems suffused by some kind of light. Slowly the left hand wanders forth, seeking the bleeding woman's face without aid of vision ... and yet, the hand seems to find its mark, his fingertips touching her cheek just above the wound. At last, an exhale of breath allows the healing chi energy to speed forth, seeking to mend the wound along her jaw line ... though curiously not all of the energy is used this time. Some bit is held back, leaving the bite mark upon her neck untouched. Perhaps this is deliberate.

Zaqs takes the ale, "Eh nothin I hadn't seen b'fore. Been told I was gonna be eatin', flogged, ow, boiled, mashed, sauted, whatever that means, turned into a rabbit. Ye get used to in when yer in a profession like mine"

N\'e1tulcienAr-Feiniel opened her eyes only to arch her left eye brow ever so slightly as she sat there in the back and just watches the on goings. Before long her attention slips to Flash as a small grin tugs over her lips. So many thoughts and yet she couldn't seem to force herself to act upon them. Bring her glass up to her lips as she took another long sip of her drink before setting it down on the table. Closing her eyes she simply lets her mind slip away from her at this point on. This was neither a place in which she intended to cause havoc to.

Kestrel_Olufemi "What would your profession be?"

Shattered_Soul Closes her eyes tightly as she lets out a soft, small whimper from her lush lips. She tries to blink away the dizziness and knows that this isnt the best time to faint. She slightly flenches at the touch, her mouth clamping shut from crying in pain because the wound hurts terribly. She soon begins to relax as she feels the wound begin to close and continues to try and relax.

Zaqs takes a large swig and then puffs out two smoke rings, "I'm a mapmaker!" he says with pride, "And a damned fine one at that!"

Kestrel_Olufemi "Alot of travel involved I'm sure? It must be enjoyable to travel with purpose."

ClaudiusBlue had two glasses of wine today, one of white and the other a rosy colour. Taking the rosy glass in his left hand while his gauntlet curled into a fist, the man took a quick sip to only taste the wine. It was not something he was used to, the flavour a little dryer and woodier than his sweet white wine. But it seemed to keep that smile on his face as he returned the glass back to the counter. "Kodora?" he started, leaning forward on his knee. "Does that creature bother you...?" he mentioned, glancing to the dwarf. "Pay him no mind, his words mean nothing to someone like you. Insolence... You need not take those insults." The man rocked back again, rolling his shoulders. "Have you been in fair spirits, my lovely niece?" he asked, his voice now quite chipper.

Kestrel_Olufemi glances around the room and realizes the time, "I am sorry, but I must be going. It was enjoyable talking to you." She rushes for the door.

Flash_Guardian at last opens his eyes, his left hand now glowing significantly less. A bead of sweat appears on his forehead as he looks the woman over. Indeed, her condition seems to have improved. "Those rags are too bloodied to serve much further purpose," he tells her. "Might I suggest this one for the bite on your neck?" He takes hold of her hand now, the one that is holding a blood-soaked cloth to her jaw, giving it a gentle tug and offering the ale-soaked cloth in his right hand instead. "Be careful, though ... the alcohol will sting. Probably a lot." Flash half-grins at the lady apologetically. Well, at least he had warned her ...

Zaqs finishes off the mug, "Purpose? I just want to map everything. Ye can't get lost if ye have a map. Though some folks seem ta get real upset when ye try to map their house. Got a nice map of a royal jail cell once while tryin' to map a castle. Somethin' 'bout "breakin' 'n' enterin'" err, bye!" turning toward the dandy and blowing a puff of smoke his way, "Barkeep, 'nother ale"

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she turned to benji and sighed : "stupid little bastard dumped his booze on me. " she grumbled "and flash is in no mood to be happy with. and i'm just ,well since i came here, not in a good mood. her lower lip would quivver and a few tears would roll down her cheek, but she was facing claduius so she wasn't worried if he saw, but she didn't want the little dwarf to hear her cry, so she lept silent.

Shattered_Soul Her eyes narrow with determination and takes a deep breath, pressing the alcohol soaked rag to the wound. A loud shout of curses can be heard throughout the whole tavern and bites her lower lip as she tries to cut them off . She squeezes her eyes shut and hisses softly, finally adjusting to the pain.

ClaudiusBlue simply gripped his hat and pulled it up as a shield against the smoke before placing it upon the bar again, still giving most of his attention to Kodora. Of course, his face contorted into a slight frown as she told him how her and Flash's day had been, glancing to the dwarf now. "Do not worry yourself, my blossoming flower..." he said, giving her a pat on the head. Pinching two metallic fingers around the stem of his glass of white wine, Blue stood to his feet and started walking towards the dwarf, taking a single sip of his drink as he moved. "Sir!" he announced, coming to a halt behind him. "I demand you apologize for giving my niece ill treatment..." he said in a mellow tone, taking a second sip now.

Flash_Guardian now closes his eyes once more, reaching out with his healing left hand again, though this time his target is the woman's shoulder, nearest to the bite. The alcohol in the wound would work to quickly sterilize the wound - a necessary precaution, though in truth the wound would not be there for much longer. Another exhale of breath, and the last of his gathered energy is expended, enough to heal the last of her wounds and restore at least a little of the woman's lost blood and vigor. His work complete, Flash opens his eyes only halfway. His breaths now seem to come short and quick, and a visible sheen of sweat can be seen on his forehead. He stumbles backward a step or two, yet seems to regain his footing by holding both arms out to steady himself.

Zaqs turns to face the dandy, leaning against the bar and proping one elbow upon it and taking a long draw from his mug. He puffs out a trio of smoke rings, "Ale Treatment."

N\'e1tulcienAr-Feiniel shook her head ever so softly as her eyes fluttered slightly. Her vision restoring once more back to her as she came back out of her daze. Picking up her glass as she took another long sip of it before once again sitting it down on the table. Sighing softly as she fought the ever trembling forces of her own nature off.

Shattered_Soul Leaps forwards to steady him, knocking the seat over as she stumbles to steady them both." Thank Mystery man, I owe you greatly." She shook her head for a second and guided him towards a chair." Sit." She walks towards the sink and grabs a damp, clean cloth. She made her way back towards him and dabs his forehead." Thank you again."

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she just stood silent, watching Benji walk up to Zaqs and sighed " benji, don t' worry about it ok? " she said in a rather unamused tone. still hating how she reeked of booze. " ugh, tyhe smell makes me want to puke" again, her ultra sensetive nose picking up the powerfull alcohol fumes, as wel las the fermented scent of the various ale's and lagers.

Flash_Guardian makes his way slowly to the chair, appearing slightly dizzy ... whatever method of healing he uses, it appears to take quite a bit out of him. A smile full of gratitude is given to the woman in return for her guidance and support. "Don't worry about it. It's what I do," he explains, shrugging casually as he eases himself back down into his suit. "Feeling better now?" he would ask her, closing his eyes and breathing a sigh of relief at the touch of the cool, wet cloth on his forehead. "Hard to tell if you were attacked by a swordsman, a creature, or both ..."

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] which caused her to be rather lgiht headed and dizzy.

ClaudiusBlue flashed the dwarf a small smile, with without any genuine warmth to give. "Ah..." he said, turning around to walk back. "I understand." With that, he made his way back to his seat and lowered his glass upon the counter. Kodora requested that he not do anything, so he would not. There would be little gained if he further upset her. "Very well... That loathesome scab is hardly a use for any of my time anyway," he said with a shrug, taking the rosy glass. "I should get someone to draw you a bath to rid yourself of that horrid stench. It does you little justice, my dear..."

Shattered_Soul Kneels down as she continues to dabs the cloth to his forehead and cheeks." Alittle dizzy, but fine.." She bites down on her lower lip and sighs." It had two tails, fangs and is quite skilled with a knife.. I scared him aswell." She stands and makes her way towards the garbage, pulling out a large piece of skin from beneath her nail. She made her way towards him again and kneel's back down, pressing the cool cloth to his forehead once more.." I shattered his knee.."

Zaqs Facing more of the room than just the part containing alcohol, the dwarf hrms watching Flash stumble to a chair, he leans his head back, "Barkeep, give that lad an ale, putit on me tab." He blows another smoke ring glancing down at Kodra a better view now then his first impression of her on the floor, "Rakshasa?" he aims at her all but ingoring Claudius.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she looked up at Benji " hey.. somethigs different.. why are you so paumpus all of a sudden?" she quirked a brow at him " why the hell have you changeD? i don't like yo ulike this i want old benji back again!" she began to pout softly.

Flash_Guardian nods to the woman's story. "Hard to place the creature just by that description," he ponders, "but I'm sure there's weirder stuff around than just that. Tough fight, though ... sounds like a match to the death," he says grimly. "I guess it's good to see you standing here, at least. And hey ... call me Flash." A bit of that smug smile that Flash is characteristic for is at last given to the woman, weary as it may be. A moment later, he looks down at himself, noticing a small stain on the right cuff of his black Armani jacket. Some of the woman's blood seems to have gotten him. As the dwarf at the bar orders Flash a drink, Flash quickly catches the bartender's eye to shake his head and wave his hand. "No thanks ... I don't drink." A curious glance is shot to the generous dwarf, though Flash's key attention remains upon the woman near him.

Shattered_Soul Her gaze follows his as she see's the stain and sighs." I'll pay for that.." She sighs softly and looks down at her once perfect creamy colored dress which is now well stained with her blood." And this is well past ruined." She shrugs slightly, her slender shoulder rising alittle and then lowers." Call me Amy." She extends one of her slender hands" Though I have seen you and your work before we never did get a chance to exchange names." Her free hand still dabbing at his forehead.

ClaudiusBlue glances down to Kodora as she asks of Benjamin, causing his motions to become rigid and halt. He just remained quiet, considering her distress. "Well..." he started, setting his rosy glass on the counter before letting the barkeep take it. "Please, do not become upset, my little Kodora... We did not realize how our words could have effected you, this being the first time we have soon you." Ben took the glass of white in hand, but merely held it for now. "The things I had pledged to do I could not do without sacrifice... Lady Aislinn without someone to stand between her and what harsh things await her, things that I could not face... I could not do that to her, dearest Kodora..." Blue took a sip of his drink now, imbibing about half of the glass in one lengthy sip.

[ClaudiusBlue ] *soon=seen

Flash_Guardian happily takes the woman's hand, glad to have at last introduced himself to this stranger he had seen at Redfang Island so many times before. "Pleased to meet you, Amy," he says cordially, shaking the woman's hand and chuckling. "Don't worry about the suit ... I have a spell that will take the stain right out." Flash now looks over the woman's shabby state of dress, appraising it briefly before nodding in agreement. A short whistle of amazement is given. "Wow. I hope this wasn't a dress you were particularly attached to?"

PhorenNarqu growled a little at Claudius' words. White hot anger swelling up inside. Just ignore the fact that he would stand between Aislinn and harm, if he was there.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she hsook her head, not understand ing hiswords. she didn't understand that there were two people , the same person, just at different points of life, in one body. "uggh!!!"she grunted in confusion. she pulled at the hair on the sides of her head. she was so confused by this all.

Shattered_Soul Wrinkles her nose and shrugs." It was but I'll get another made. And the pleasure is mine" She stands slowly and sways alittle." This is going to be a long walk home." She murmers mostly to herself and smiles slightly at Flash." I took a look at the Dojo and I must say you did very well."

Zaqs finishes off his mug and hops off the stool, putting the mug back on the bartop as he does so. He opens his side satchel and pulls out a book of parchment, a quill and an unstoppered vial of ink, placing the items on his stool, the ink falling on its side and amazingly enough not spilling out onto everything. Next he opens his back pack and begins to pull various items out of it: a grappling hook, a telescope, another bag, "Where is it?" he grumbles sticking his face into the bag.

Flash_Guardian absolutely swells with pride. "A lot of work went into the dojo," he explains happily, whatever gloom he was in long since past and forgotten. "I'm happy to say that the dojo is at last functional and ready for use after a long, grueling month of construction. If you haven't seen it lately, you should." Flash pushes himself up to his feet now with a bit of effort. "Which brings me to my next question ... just where is home for you at the moment? If you don't have a specific place in mind, you're welcome to spend the night at my dojo," Flash offers with that same sense of pride, hoping she will agree. "The accomodations are rather meager at the moment, but if you don't mind a bedroll on a hard floor, it's a roof over your head."

ClaudiusBlue looked down to her as he lowered his glass, the reaction she gave him disheartening. "Kodora..." The noble hopped off his perch and knelt beside her, both hands on his knee as he looked to her with a most concerned expression. "Please do not vex yourself over this... I do not want you to be unhappy," he said, offering her a warm smile as he spoke next. "If you should ever have a single doubt, all you need to do is say my name, Benjamin Blue. I am always here for you Kodora, but now I just need a bit more recognition to present myself to you. Do you understand?" he asked her, offering his silver gauntlet to her.

Shattered_Soul Nods and laughs lightly." Only if you give a tour of the Dojo." She said softly and looks down at her dress." I dont have any other clothes with me." She stated with a groan, knowing it would be hell to get to her home again." Gosh when I first seen you... You were putting up beams and such. Then I come back again and it is finished, you are a quick worker I assume."

Zaqs with an exclamation of "aha!" the dwarf pulls out a large bundle of stickes, each one the size of a man's hand, and tied to the ends of two other sticks. He pushes the bundle aside and repacks his backpack, picking up the bundle and the collection of oddities on his stool and stomping toward the elf in the corner, "Hey Elf!" he booms in greeting stopping before him, "Ye be willin' ta lend me a hand or are ye too busy gettin' yerself drunk?"

Flash_Guardian holds his hands up and shakes his head. "No, no," he argues. "I can't take credit for all the work. I had a lot of help from a lot of friends. Without them, the dojo certainly wouldn't have been finished in only a month's time. Which reminds me ..." Flash looks up and away, through the ceiling for a moment as he makes a mental note. "Right. Gotta finish that. Anyway," he says, returning his attentions to the woman, "I'll be more than happy to give you a tour of the place. And perhaps a spare set of clothing as well, if I can find something." Flash bows to the woman slightly before taking a temporary leave. "Come find me when you're ready to leave, alright?" Flash rises and makes his way towards the door, heading back toward the common room of the bar.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she nodded softly, for the most part, after all she was still a child. " just don't act like a jack ass" she sighed : " ummm i need a bath" she said softly, glaring at the dwarf " jack ass" she hissed out and turned ot benjimen blue, not liking the change, but maybe.. she could work on that with him.

Laeral walks in quietly pulling her cloak around her as she leans on her staff. Gazing around she slowly makes her way over to a chair near to the fire place for a moment as she sighs softly nodding her head to herself.

[PhorenNarqu ] "What are you on about, dwarf?"

ClaudiusBlue let out a heavy breath, but a nod and a smile given to her as he requested her bath. "We could either procure a bath through the inn or perhaps you would like to go swimming instead?" The bard pushed himself to his feet, sliding the glass away from him before taking hold of his hat. The man had still made a promise not to drink, a did his best to keep by it. "That reminds me... You said Flash was here?"

Zaqs holds up a stick with the number "one" carved into it, "Needta make a map of this tavern. Would ye hold the end so I can get a measure of length and width?"

Feather enters the room with a slighly smug grin upon her face. As with habit she slips off her black bandana, tucking it into the red sash she wears at her hip, and runs her thin fingers through her golden hair to tame what wildness the bandana left behind. Her emerald green eyes soon land upon the occupants of the pub as she makes her way through the various tables to the bar.

[Flash_Guardian ] And just like that, Flash arrives in the presence of Blue and Kodora once again. "Everything alright out here?" he asks, looking between the two. And at length, his senses are confused by what they tell him, doing a bit of a double take to Blue as well as wincing at the profound smell of alcohol. "Whoa ... wha ... what's going on?"

Laeral sits down and smiles slightly as she rests her staff next to the chair as she takes a moment to gaze over the others within the pub before leaning forward to warm her hands infront of the fire.

PhorenNarqu sighed, and took hold of the stick's end "You do know that this place constantly changes, right? But in any case, I could use a mapmaker."

Zaqs raises an eyebrow, "Eh? what do you mean 'constantly changes'? Is this one of those "Damned-elf-crazy-wizard-maze-rooms-to-mess-with-mapmakers-rooms?"

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " that dwarf poured booze on me while i was unconcscience. and i dunno whats with benji. "she turned her head bac k to benji and sighed " and swimming? it's winter outside. i want something war,"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Pretty much, yeah. See this table? It used to be over there" He points out the window "The shape itself of the thing changes all the time."

[Zaqs ] does the building stay the same dimensions?

[PhorenNarqu ] "Nope."

Flash_Guardian seems to simply gaze at Blue now incredulously, jaw hanging open. As much as Blue would like to admit, Flash can see the change plain as day. "Blue ... a shadow has come over you ..." Flash continues to take in this change, trying to find some understanding.

Zaqs drops the bundle of sticks, the book of parchment, ink vial and quill, his face souring, "Damned magical dimesional changing rooms that can't properly be mapped. Okay, elf, ifin the room likes to be nilly frilly and change then there's no point of mappin' it." he begins to gather his posseions, "Ye said ye needed a map made? Map of what?"

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sighed sadly,. looking at blue, then hung her head low. he was different, and she didn't like it. " finnaly, the fumes taking ahold of her, she fell to the ground, knkoced out by the strength of her own nose. that and a ever growing migrane.

[PhorenNarqu ] "A new land. It'd be lonely work, though. But I have some scouts out there who'd probably enjoy your company. What with them being dwarves and all."

Laeral giggles to herself as she listens to the others in the pub as she rembers the days before when she first came to the realm and couldn't understand all that was going on. Slowly she nods her head and stands as she makes her way over to the bar to order herself a simple glass of wine.

ClaudiusBlue glanced up to Flash as he approached, bowing his head with a friendly smile to accompany it. "Greetings Flash!" he said, a grin on his face as Flash pulled the double take. "I am afraid she has been dowsed in a rather strong smelling ale... " Blue lowered himself into his seat again, snuggly refitting his cap as Flash asked of him. "It has come over me but has not overcome me... Equal space is given and certain view have been allowed." Blue looked down to Kodora once more, his mood dampening a bit. "I will leave it to you to make what you will of me... That would be best." Being within their company made him feel a little uncomfortable, starting to feel a tinge of regret for coming to the pub.

Flash_Guardian turns at the sound of Kodora hitting the deck once again, looking down upon the girl with a big brother's pity, shaking his head. And then a glance to the dwarf as he collects his things, and to Phoren in the corner. All in all, Flash isn't sure which issue to address first. And so ... he stands there, one eye wrinkling in slight confusion.

[Zaqs ] /me hrms as he walks over to the bar to put his things away and gather his packs before walking back to PhorenNarqu, "Point me where this land of yours is and I'll send ye a copy of me map when I get there."

PhorenNarqu produced his own map, very vague, but showing the direction to go. "That" He tapped the place labelled Morrowind "Is where I need you to go."

PhorenNarqu would like to note Morrowind is across an ocean

Kazz just decided to stay outside, sitting againist the Pub as he looked to the stars, taking a drag from his cigarette as his hands were stuffed in the pockets of his leather jacket, a few stray locks of hair falling in front of his black eyes as they looked at the moon, just wondering about things

Zaqs takes the parchment and turns it left, then right, then back, "Island eh? I'll get there 'ventually" he turns at the sound of Kodora falling, "Ye know elf, these folk just don't know the danger of sleepin' in a tavern."

Laeral sips her wine slowly as she closes her eyes for the moment just enjoying the taste as she is lost in thought.

[PhorenNarqu ] "I agree."

Feather leans a hand on the bartop as she calls for the barkeep "rum and coke, no ice" her tone is cheery while slightly accented. As the barkeep delivers her the drink she slings her tan pack about and pulls out the propper ammout in unmarked gold coins, winking as she says "change be yours". Slinging her bag back over she takes up her drink, steals a sip, and goes back to looking about the pub, her eyes now searching for a place to sit and perhaps company.

Flash_Guardian addresses Blue for the moment, since Blue addressed him first. But he isn't certain what to say, exactly. "Equal space or not," Flash begins, "a shadow is still a shadow, and a change still makes a difference." This said, Flash nods solemnly. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see, as you say." Other questions burn within Flash's mind, but there are other matters to attend to. "We should get Kodora cleaned up," he says, looking down to the girl once more. "I can take her back to my dojo and give her a bath. That would probably be easiest, seeing as I'm already taking another woman out that way in just a moment." Flash kneels to scoop up Kodora for the second time today, one arm under her arms, the other under her knees, cradling her against him. As close as she is now, he can't help but recoil from the smell.

Zaqs opens his backpack and pulls out a waterskin. He then walks over to Claudius and taps him in the middle of the back, "'scue me sir, but I need ta be havin' a bit of a chat with ye."

Laeral places a few coins on the bar and then started to walk back to her sit by the fire sitting down slowly so not to spill her wine as she smiles softly gazing into the glass of wine.

ClaudiusBlue nods to Flash, looking over to Kodora. "Yes... That we should." But no sooner were he about to follow Flash did he hear the gruff voice of the dwarf, causing him to turn around. "What can I help you with?" he says, taking a step back to give the dward his full attention.

[ClaudiusBlue ] *dwarf

Feather decides to wonder about the pub for a bit, taking a sip of her drink here and there as she continues to search for a suitable seat, though her mind in no attachment to actually finding one.

SoulTaker as usual, pushed through the dorrs of the pub. She walked straight over to the bar and sat herself down, asking for the usual glass, and payed the usual amount. Boy she was having fun.

Laeral yawns softly and places her glass down as she gazes around for a moment nodding her head to lady that walked into the pub before looking back to the fire "Things here might change but still the same old feel" she smiles as she says that

Flash_Guardian also looks down to the dwarf, curious as to what his business was with Blue. He tries not to breathe too deeply ...

Zaqs points a finger at the unconcious Kodora, "Ye need ta tell yer "neice" that she shouldn't be sleepin' in taverns. She may be 'af demon or a werebeast or whatever it is she is, but slepin' in taverns isn't a smart idea. Ye could wind up broke or worse, yer tab run up. Ifin' ye want I've got a skin here and'll wake 'er up fer ya."
